I peeked under their hood, looked at the fine print and kicked the tires (mixing metaphors is hard work) to see which ones are worth the money. Let’s Compare the Top Three TabletsĪs your analog-digital spy, I’ve secretly investigated three top devices. They are, experientially, the same as paper. They use electronic ink instead of backlighting (like the iPad), and so they’re more pleasant and better on your eyes. Looking at them, reading from them, is just like reading from paper. The Remarkable 2 and Ratta’s Supernote A5 X are a serious notetaker’s dream. But Electronic Note-taking Tablets Are So Cool! The long game of using devices may be important. And, chopping them down is, perhaps, a bad idea for a planet that needs a whole lot of them to exhale to keep it from bursting into flames. Using a tablet now grows the market, leading to greater advances in minimizing environmental footprint while maximizing its capabilities. Same with all devices: They get better, cost less, have less impact on the environment. By its sixth or seventh iteration, power usage, production of its motherboard, and internal system may improve by a lot. The Remarkable 2 is only the second iteration of the device. Electronic tablets are still in the crib. It is a time-tested technology whose bugs and glitches were ironed out centuries ago. The technology of paper has reached its zenith. But Wait a Minute, What About the Future? It can be concluded from this study that for a student considering a new note-taking device, paper notebooks seem to be more environmentally friendly than the tablets, given the current state of technology. According to science, paper is better for the environment. In all aspects of the study, using paper showed a significantly lower environmental impact. The scenario was populated by university students taking 70 pages of notes per class per semester. One 2020 analysis compared the life cycle assessments of an iPad, a Remarkable, and a paper notebook for their impacts on the environment. Which Is Why a Digital Notebook Is Better

Every page I tear off my recycled legal pad is the skin of a tree. Even if you work hard to use only paper salvaged from the enormous pile of discarded manuscripts mined out of Stephen King’s backyard. That affects the environment and grows your global footprint. Analog tools are made from natural resources. Most paper is paper, and when you use it to doodle a Douglas fir, you’re engaging in some dark irony. Although there are some alternatives to wood pulp paper, they are a sliver of the global market. But What If Cool Pencil and Paper Cred Is Bad for the Planet? But clearly, I’m no longer part of an emergent trend. I know it’s a little hipster, a little extra to nerd out over luxurious writing implements and Baron Fig (my love) cloth-bound notebooks. That disposability lets me be insanely creative without fearing I’m wasting expensive cotton rag on doodles. I like cheap paper instead of expensive stationery. The scritchy scritch drag of a pen’s nib over the paper. There are Reasons to Prefer Pen and Paper Over Stylus and Glass. All my real work has been done on paper in logbooks and planners.
But all it did was beep all the time and make me learn a new alphabet, which turned out to be useless and dumb. A million years ago, I thought my brand-new PalmPilot would change my life. I have a small rainforest’s worth of unused notebooks on my bookshelf. And That’s How I Gave Up Paper Notebooks for a Tablet Textbook work I can do in my sleep, except I broke the one rule you can’t ever break. My assignment was simple enough: Gather intelligence on the Remarkable 2 and determine its threat level to the analog way of life. Seriously? I Can Get a Loaded iPad for Half That Price The Supernote took a weird turn for the paper feel.
The Remarkable 2 is trending, and so is the idea of digital pen latency.
